The owner of the property housing the Trinamool Congress (TMC) headquarters in Kolkata filed a police complaint Sunday seeking the party's eviction [1], [2].
The dispute places the ruling party's primary administrative hub in West Bengal at risk of closure. A sudden relocation could disrupt party operations and logistics during a period of political sensitivity in the region.
The property is located off the EM Bypass in Kolkata [1], [2]. The landlord lodged the formal complaint at the Pragati Maidan police station [1], [2]. The owner said the decision to seek the party's departure stems from security concerns linked to post-election unrest that occurred outside the building [3].
In a separate notice sent to the party leadership, the owner established a two-month deadline [3] for the TMC to vacate the premises. The owner said the party must leave the rented facility entirely within that window [1], [2].
This legal move follows a series of events where the property owner cited the instability surrounding the headquarters as a primary motivator for the request [3]. The TMC leadership has not yet issued a public response regarding the timeline for relocation or the validity of the police complaint [1], [2].

This development highlights the precarious nature of party infrastructure when relying on private rentals. By involving the police and citing security risks, the landlord is shifting a civil lease dispute into a public safety matter, which may pressure the TMC to find a permanent, party-owned facility to avoid further instability.
